Today’s WhatIs.com Word of the Day is context-aware network access control (CANAC), an approach to managing the security by granting access to network resources according to contextual-based security policies. The endpoint device is granted access, quarantined or blocked from the network depending on the device’s type, location, identity and the operating system or applications running on it.
